| Brian Godel,
Terpsichory Dance Troupe James of the Dragons Feather I've been going to Ren. Fest. almost every year since I was a little kid. In '98, my rookie year, I was presented with the opportunity to join the dance troupe Terpsichory in its rookie year (ok so I have a hard time resisting beautiful women yelling "we need men"). I have been actively working in the troupe ever since, and will probably continue to do so until the women of Terpsichory deem someone else the 'male sex symbol' of the dance! troupe. };-) |

Amanda Gordon,
The Dregs & Vilification Tennis Molly McGreevy I was slowly sucked into the Renaissance Festival family when I began working in the costume shop the summer of '98. The following year I went through academy, worked the streets as Gilly Bracken, and was an alternate on the stocks. I spent the following summer (of 2000) co-running the costume shop, as they were looking for a seasonal stand-in that year. But missing the atmosphere of performance, I jumped on board when Tim Wick announced his plan of starting up Mac's Pub. And there I found my home at the festival. I love being peasantry. We can sit anywhere, eat anything, and wipe our hands off on our clothes, lord love ya. I began participating in Vilification Tennis the same year I joined the Pub Kin (the resident Irish family at Mac's Pub), and am on the Vil Team usually referred to as "Molly and Ian". We had a name once, but Tim could never remember it. Thus we are and ever shall be "Molly and Ian." |

Alan Gramont, Musician in transition (working on a new character for next year, but was Miles Knots, Navigator of the Portobello Rose in 2006) 2006 was my rookie year at MRF. I filled in as guitar player and background
vocals for the Pyrates of Portobello (www.theatreofthenorth.com) as the
often lost navigator Miles Knots (thank you Jim Jordan and Dave Zenz for
the opportunity). We were a gridded show (5-6 shows daily) as well as
playing for the wine tasting. I played at the morning gate to greet the
best patrons in the world. I also made a number of appearances at shops,
at the Irish cottage (thank you Maggie), and even played for the queen
herself. Fest nights ended at the pub sing where I joined the Troll as
a trollite for a jam to close out the day! It was a fantastic experience.
I knew that I had to come back. I will be returning in 2007 with Graham
Leathers and Becca (Allen) Leathers to perform as a trio. If you know
Becca or Graham, you know that I am really fortunate to join them. See
you in 2007! |

I work out at the Bakery Stage, with the Broadside Pirates (I'm a powder

you want to discuss the new book I've read it). I play percussion and
pretty well on drum set. I'm the Vice President of S.P.A. I'm only related
to my sister biologically. Now I'm going to do other things. Hope you

Amy Graves, Street I have 4 personas (I like to switch things up a bit) * Lady Inga Greeves - my street character for fest 2010 * Viscountess Inga Graves * Serena - The Good Fairy * Fauna Foxbee the Fractured Fairy I started fest in 1996 when I was 19. The first few years I came in mundane
clothes. I eventually started coming in garb first as a peasant than worked
my way up the social ladder. I also enjoy my fairy personas. I came up
with Fauna 3 yrs ago and Serena this year. All depends on the weather
what come as. Lady Inga has traveled to shire to celebrate the harvest with the King and Queen. She has brought with her her "children," Henry - a bird and Elizabeth - a cat. They cling to her shoulders as if in fear of being separated from their "mother." Lady Inga can be seen wandering the streets of the village- talking to her "children". On occasion she can also be seen walking the lanes with her nieces and fairies. As for my mundane life - My husband and I live in Coon Rapids, MN. We
have been married for 10 yrs. Lee is a high school science teacher in
St. Francis, MN. I am in the process of starting my own jewelry business.
I currently have product on Etsy.com. I am also finishing my Master's
degree in Management and Organizational Development. |

Justin Grays,
Fencing Booth Justin, aka Wolf O'Donnell Justin came to the Renaissance Festival in the early 1990's on the school
trip and fell in love with it after that day. It took until 2001 for him
to be able to go back, though; and he was a playtron until the Fencing
Booth took him in in 2006. |

Carrie Green, Shakopee Jaycees Back in 1992 I was fourteen just getting my first job, a good friend of mine told me she was going to get one at the renaissance festival and asked me to apply. Although I did work my first few years in CKC I was able to still get the feel of that special festival magic. I then moved on to working for games and now to selling beer (for the Shakopee Jaycees) which is now what I do for a living outside of fair as well.

2004 was my first year working out at the Renaissance Festival. I graduated
in May from NDSU in Fargo (my hometown) with a BA in Mass Communications
with a public relations emphasis. I moved to Minneapolis in June and have
loved every minute working out here. I can most often be seen sitting
in the Feast of Fantasy booth with my fellow sales girls, people watching.

Jim Grittner,
Street Mayhew Moore (The Road Crew Authority) Rocky the Raccoon (puppet at large) As of 2010 have survived 15 years at MRF in many different aspects. the
last 3 years have been the most exciting for me as a character. In 2008
fest set me loose on the street to play and explore and explore I did.
in 2009 I was asked by Carr to work in this funny "enchanted turtle"
thingy. at first I was like "are you kidding" then I hopped
in and the first patron that walked by I scared the daylights out of with
the puppet....Needless to say I was hooked. I was shocked and blessed
to be nominated at the end of the season for "best new act by a Vet"
2010 found Rocky with no home (the turtle ran away) so, I hit the streets
and started working front gate. Now I am hooked. I enjoy working with
that crew and look forward to many more rewarding years with them. |

Kerry Grittner, Site Crew & Show
Worker Kieran Grutzner also known as Kori I am a knight of the realm,knighted by King Henry(George H.) I am on
Site Crew, I also am a sales person for Sharon Crystal on the weekends.
I started working fest in 1983 working for Bill Lochen at the stocks.
I am something of a historian, as I hope you could see by the reasonably
accurate sets of clothes that i wear. I am usually dressed as a business
person-in 16th century Europe my family ran a maltshaus, milling and malting
grain for the making of beer and liquor, and purchased an enoblement from
the Holy Roman Emperor. So most of my clothing reflects that time and
status. I also have a set of clothes as a landsknecht-a 16th century soldier,
and clothing from the 13th or 14th century. |

Ashley Grivna, Playtron
I've been attending the MN Ren Fest for about 3 years now (about 3-4
times a year). At this point people think that I work there...I even got
to sell pickles with my best friend! (see Leah Juster's bio) I'm convinced
that I was born in the wrong era. It is my goal to drop out of college
and join the rest of the festies! |
